Football Questions with the wrong answer

[Trampilot]

Thought I'd share this.

 

My wife gets a weekly general knowledge quiz through work. I tend to get 7-8/10 as I'm quite good at this stuff. Anyway this week the question was:

 

1. Which two football teams play at a ground called St James Park?

 

 

As soon as she said this I told her the question was technically wrong. It's a common error for Newcastle and Exeter to be named as the two teams but the names are significantly different because of an apostrophe.

 

St James'

St James

 

The answers indeed came back as Newcastle and Exeter.

 

I'm so anal with this stuff I've passed my feedback to the question setter - and I don't even work for the same company.

 

 

 

On non-football themed quizzed Radio Joke once had a Terrence Stamp quiz in which the question was which one of these films he DIDN't appear in. This was pre-internet but as a film nut I consulted my Leonard Maltin and Leslie Halliwell only to discover it must be a trick question as he was listed as in all three.

 

The answer was given as Superman.

 

For those familiar he appears very briefly at the start and gets a credit, this character continues in Superman 2.

Similar question to the grocers shop or grocer`s shop, common parlance I was told.

Aye. It is. Disappears off in to space trapped by a window frame!

Not Trevor Francis, who was the first £999,999 player.
